Quoted passages this brief is built from (4)
  • "The first two are reappointments, a reappointment of Dr. Gary Alexander, who has served for Quite a few years and is a tremendous asset to the Board of Health. He's a respiratory therapist, not therapist, respiratory infectious disease doc, handles a lot of our TB stuff that we have questions and just been just a stalwart there on the board."

  • "The other is reappointment of Mr. Richard Swanson. He's with the school district. He's the risk manager there. Our ordinance bylaws require a representative from the school district, and he has served there previously."
    — 25:00
  • "The other one is the appointment of Dr. Scott Christensen. Our bylaws require a dentist on our board, and we've taken some time since Dr. Taylor, I guess, retired from the board the last time, and we've done a pretty good search of trying to find a dentist that has that background in Public health and things, and Dr. Scott Christensen seems to fit that."

  • "It's Steven Christensen. That didn't sound right when I was. Thanks for the correction. Yeah. Dr. Steven Christensen."
